Abstract

BACKGROUND: It is unclear whether there is an association between chronotype and nonremission of depression, and whether the association is related to the confounding effect of insomnia. METHOD: A cohort of patients with major depressive disorder were assessed for chronotype (by Morningness-Eveningness Questinnaire [MEQ]), depressive symptoms, insomnia severity and clinical outcomes in a naturalistic follow-up study. RESULTS: Of the 253 recruited subjects (age 50.8 ± 10.2 y; female: 82.6%; response rate 90.0%), 19.4%, 56.1% and 24.5% patients were classified as eveningness, intermediate, and morningness, respectively. Evening-type subjects had higher insomnia severity, more severe depressive symptoms, and higher suicidality. Eveningness was associated with nonremission of depression with an odds ratio (OR) of 3.36 (95% confidence interval [CI] 1.35-8.34, P < 0.01), independent of insomnia severity. In addition, insomnia was an independent significant factor in contributing to nonremission of depression (OR = 1.12; 95% CI 1.05-1.19, P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: The independent association of eveningness with nonremission of depression suggested a significant underpinning of circadian involvement in major depressive disorder. Our findings support the need for a comprehensive assessment of sleep and circadian disturbances as well as integration of sleep and chronotherapeutic intervention in the management of depression.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
